Walk MS Pin Up Sales Fundraising Program Have you ever been in the check-out line of a supermarket when the cashier asks if you want to give a $1 or $2 to a charity? We have the same program and we are happy to share it with you. The National MS Society will send you the pin up sales and you collaborate with your local store(s) to have them sell them. You get 100% of what they sell and it goes towards your fundraising account. It dramatically increases your donor network and is a great way to fundraise. For more information, please contact Judy Hamer judith.hamer@nmss.org.

How it Works:

Pick a day: Sunday through Thursday

Pick a time: Lunch, 11:00 through 4:00 PM

Dinner, 4:00 PM through 9:00 PM

Times and dates are at the discretion of the general manager of each Papa Gino’s location.

20% of the order goes to the participant or team’s fundraising effort.
